Biohacking Focus with Peter Joosten

I block time in the morning from 8 till 1 o’clock in which I’m really doing deep work. No social media, no email. I sometimes feel I really have to be aware of my emails everyday, all the time, but he makes a compelling case of it’s not that necessary. Clients are not getting mad if you don’t answer their email in 10 minutes but a couple of hours later. Do you ever wonder why some people get more done in the day? Or why some people seem to be so calm despite having a lot on their plate? Peter Joosten is one of those people. Peter Joosten owns the successful blog ProjectLeven.nl where he writes weekly on biohacking, technology, and health. He is a speaker, adviser and trendwatcher at various companies and institutions. Peter runs the popular podcast, the Project Life Show (iTunes top 100). In it, he interviews with different experts about lifestyle, health and technological developments. Peter has been featured on national television in the Netherlands, Dutch newspapers, and magazines such as Men's Health.

In the eternal words of Management Consultant, Peter Drucker, “What gets measured, gets managed.” I began testing my gut microbiome. There are a lot of options out there but I chose to use Thryve most often. Why? Well, mainly accuracy is a big thing for me but also the process behind the test. Not only do I get the information about the bacteria in my gut but Thryve includes the scientific research behind each of the findings of the test. This is extremely important to people like me. Based on the tests, Thryve also creates custom probiotics which are delivered refrigerated to your door. I emphasize the word refrigerated part (this is important for the effectiveness of the probiotic).
